What Democrats Can Do

I thought the democrats were ending the war once they took control. Were all those speeches pure rhetoric? Congress controls the purse; no money, no war. That simple.

I wish it were that simple. The fact is that Congress needs much more than a majority to ensure the severance of money for war funding. The Democrats have a paper thin majority, and time will clearly have to pass before a bloc consisting of Republicans and Democrats is in place that can withstand a veto.
